Activity #289: Unroll the bubble wrap

Thoughtful reader and not-so-rookie mom, Tanyetta, shares this tip for entertaining a gaggle of energetic toddlers:

Get a strip of bubble wrap, roll it out in the middle of the floor and watch the kiddos have a ball making their own unique type of fun!

Inspired by Tanyetta’s suggestion, I unrolled some large bubble wrap for Holden and got some great action photos of him leaping off of our hearth (is that what it’s called?) and onto the bubbles. Super cute!

we use bubble wrap in our classroom with the 1-3 year olds they LOVE it! another neat thing we do is fill some small snack baggies with washable paint, and some with air and tape them together like bubble wrap and let the kids paint with their feet on giant rolls of butcher paper

love this idea. I did it with my son last year and he had a blast. I let him go without socks for even more sensory input. Eventually we turned it into a game where the bubble wrap was a path that you couldn’t fall off of.
